I don't know that the price should be considered a negative as it's about what you pay at nice steak restaurant in OKC. We had some trouble with the wait. The staff at BLT was supposed to move our ressie time back, then we got caught in a ridiculous line at the front gate at EPCOT, so we were late & waited 30 minutes for our table. However, everybody else had a long wait too. I thought an 8:30 res would by pass that but I guess not.
The food more than made up for the wait. We had a party of 5, me, DH, DN15, DS12 & DD9. Me DN & DH had the filet with the return of the mushroom risotto & it was as delicious as everyone says. DS had surprise! Grilled chicken which was very good. DD had some sort of turkey kabob which was made with ground turkey & looked like a really dark, small corn dog. It came with a yogurt dipping sauce. I was worried she would hate it, but she loved it. We also had some starters, Me & DS had cheddar soup which tasted more like cheesy potato but was still good. DH had the tomato & mozzarella salad, it was very good. The service was prompt & friendly but nothing over the top. This was the one place that DN didn't complain about the food, so it was a win. Go at least once

Ok so let's get the price out of the way first - we visited 8th August and the price suggests something way out of the league of the current Le Cellier, service is ok, restaurant is ok, seating is very close together, food is average.
Take the price out of the game and then my objective view slightly changes from a 4 to a 7.
The bread remains very good however we have noticed that you have to ask for more it is never just refilled nowadays.
The cheddar cheese soup is not to my taste but remains enough reason for my 16 year old son to choose this restaurant above many others for one of his two table services choices of a two week holiday.
The meat is cooked under most USA restaurants but this was clearly indicated to us when ordering. Even so I'm not sure why they just cant cook a medium the same as all other restaurants and not just medium rare instead!
The ribeye steaks were very nice but very salty. The sides are not great.
I enjoyed the maple crème brulee and my husband tried the unusual flavours of sorbet but there was nothing attractive for the kids so they declined (even though it was included in our two credits on the dining plan) and opted to use a snack credit elsewhere in EPCOT rather than choose from the small choice here.
As a side note in two weeks my carnivore daughter ate steak a minimum of once and sometimes twice a day. We joked she must have eaten her body meat in the red meat we restrict at home but here she ate less than half of her steak. That should tell this steak place something.
Pros:
Good but not great foodCons:

WE have loved this restaurant for 15 years however are so disappointed with all the changes that have slowly decreased the quaintness of the atmosphere as well as the quality of the food.
Years ago, bread was served in quaint bread holders on the table, real candles were in the center of the table in cute candle holders...everything has been generically standardized to make things less special.
And when you have a wonderful steak, the mushroom filet (that used to have roasted parsnips on top loooong ago) why change that risotto and sauce for something less than wonderful??
We ordered my filet well done (no pink right??). Well the first steak came dripping blood, as rare than my husband and son who both ordered medium. They apologized and sent it back (another 10 minutes passed) and brought me a second steak more rare than the first...Again, manager apologized and sent it back and after 15 minutes this time it came out ok. But my family had finished their dinners 20 minutes earlier and we missed our fast pass reservation when all was done...
When you have a good thing and mess it up, it is sad...We will not be back to spend our hard earned money on an overpriced place like this any more....:(

Over-crowded seating(not like photos) wait staff sticking their butts in your face attending to neighboring tables, SALT - if you like it this is the place for you - the chef uses it as THE MAIN ingredient, delivery of food - flop/dropped on table with "here's your stuff" message - entrees NOT delivered to proper person. Wellness of cooking meat NOT requested at order time ... wifey LOVES lamb and ordered it - came to the table almost raw. I ordered duck - got a few slices of breast meat cooked pretty OK and a leg/thigh that appears to have been cooked in a huge cauldron - and over-cooked at that. Sides were un-recognizeable and disgusting - possibly Canadian culture thing. Wait staff un-attentive. Maitr'e a bore - I do not care hoe yourniece and your sister are doing!!! I could go on but you get the point and I need to do something more important. DO NOT waste your money at this place.
Pros:

My wife and I dined there on 6/5/2014. We were anxious due to reading several negative reviews here lately and it is our favorite restaurant in EPCOT. However, we left entirely satisfied. My filet and wife's bone-in ribeye were cooked perfectly. Our waiter was attentive and friendly and service was excellent. I want to say we were not on Disney dining plan and I have heard from others this sometimes affects service. The bread was hot and delicious and the Caesar salad was cold and crisp. My only complaint about the food was that the spinach was swimming in cream.
Pros:
great steaks, decent wine choices and full service barCons:

We ate here last year and everything was excellent. Would have rated it a 10, so it was a for sure repeat dinning spot. This year the experience was a complete disappointment. Our waitress never checked back with us until we waved her over to refill our drinks. Then she'd disappear again. Both my daughter and I ordered the steak, which last year was one of the best I've ever tasted. When the waitress asked how we wanted it cooked, we told her medium. She said it would be pink all the way through. To me, that's rare. I asked if they could cook it to what Longhorn's calls medium plus or halfway between medium and medium well. She matter of factly said NO, either med or med well. Who tells a customer that? When it came it was well done and tough. We told her and she said "it's medium well, just like you ordered it." Guess we could have called over the manager and make a big deal out of it, but we had a fastpass on Test Track and needed to leave. Will not go back next visit.

This place is a classic and a must for every visit. Our great waitress was from the Yukon and she told us all about that area. We knew going in that it may be a little pricy for lunch, but when you are on vacation you should enjoy yourself. For appetizers I ordered the pork belly and found it to be the best ever. My wife tried the seared scallops and really thought they were delicious. My DD had the roasted oysters, which are her favorite and she loved them. My DD tried the Caesar salad and thought it was great. For the entrée we all ordered the ribeyes. What a treat. They were done to perfection and I did not need a knife to cut mine. The quality of the steak can not be beat. we ordered sides of crab pasta, two orders of lobster poutine, and brussel sprouts. This really complemented the lunch. For desert we had the pineapple sorbet, a lemon curd torte, and two citrus olive oil cakes. In addition we had a few Labatt Blues to enjoy. The total bill came to $450 counting the $75.00 tip. It was well worth it for a relaxing lunch in a beautiful setting. This is a definite repeat lunch and worth every penny.

This restaurant is not to be missed. This visit we both had the filet which as usual melts in your mouth like butter. They changed the risotto to and english pea risotto instead of the mushroom risotto and I think that change was a mistake. I had the lobster chopped salad which is a little bit of heaven before the filet. Hubby had the cheese soup which was excellent.
This restaurant is small and they fully book so don't expect to walk in at the last minute.

Best filet EverCons:

My husband and I had lunch here on March 14th, and everything was excellent. We had the cheddar cheese soup for an appetizer and it was plentiful, hot and delicious.
For our entrees, we both had the mushroom filet, and again, it was delicious and cooked to order.
For dessert, I had the strawberry panna cotta and my husband had the citrus-olive oil cake. Both were oh so yummy.
I have dined here at least 3 or 4 times, and every time it's a perfect choice.
